Fitting into those SkinnyJeans

SkinnyJeans · 08-28-2006, 11:10 AM

I figured I'd try my hand at this journaling thing, to keep me real. I love to cook and experiment with recipes, so I'll talk to myself about it here. I also want to keep track of my menus. My plan is to "officially" start on September 1, but I don't intend to eat anything carby in the meantime. I will be following Atkins, but will not be eating any frankenfoods, such as low carb bars and other products. Things such as Davinci syrups are ok for me. Also, I plan to subtract fiber. Weigh-ins once a month. Limited coffee and diet sodas - I really want to work on increasing my water intake. At least 20-30 minutes on the Gazelle each day, and I hope to incorporate pilates at one point.

So, off I go.

Thank you. I'm very anxious to be "official" on Friday. I'm planning my exercise routine today and tomorrow so I can be ready to go!

I love your screen name and journal title. We all have a pair of skinny jeans that we want to fit in. Good luck on your journey.

I'll add my stats when I have my second weigh in. Ugh. I thought for sure I was under 190.

Of course, I did have my shorts/tank top on and it's TOM. So maybe I am under.

Grrr! I ate badly over the weekend. I have company and it's hard for me to stay on plan when there are potato bread hamburger buns around. But today, I will be on plan. I'm not hungry right now, but I'll have to force myself to eat a hard boiled egg before we head out for half a day of off shore fishing.

SkinnyJeans · 09-11-2006, 09:10 AM

OK, I truly suck. I've not been on plan. This weekend, I ate nothing but junk. Grrrr!!!! There is still ice cream in the freezer. If I can resist, it will be a miracle.

I have a whole chicken in the crock pot. I have a dozen and a half hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator. I have bags of lettuce. I can do this. I can do this. Right? I can do this.

On a positive note, I stepped on the scale this morning. I was really expecting bad numbers, and would not have been surprised to see a gain. But I weighed in at 189.5. I'll take that.

SkinnyJeans · 09-12-2006, 09:40 AM

Ok, the ice cream is gone.

I've been on plan today.

B: 1 hb egg, 2 yolks, coffee
L: (EDIT) leftover spaghetti squash and hamburger
D: marinated pork ribs and salad

I'm going to try to drink some water today.

SkinnyJeans · 09-13-2006, 09:04 AM

I stayed on plan yesterday! Go me!!

B: coffee w/ cream, and I'll force down and egg
L: salad
D: roast with salad

SkinnyJeans · 09-15-2006, 08:55 AM

Grrrr. Not sticking to plan so well, but I was at least able to resist the urge to buy candy under stressful situations!
